1st Corinthians 6
6
CHAPTER 6
1Dare any of you that hath a cause against another, be deemed at wicked men, and not at holy men [or saints]?
2Whether ye know not, that saints shall deem this world? And if the world shall be deemed by you, be ye unworthy to deem the least things?
3Know ye not, that we shall deem angels? how much more worldly things?
4Therefore if ye have worldly dooms, ordain ye those contemptible men, [or of little reputation], that be in the church, to deem.
5I say to make you ashamed [or I say to your shame]. So there is not any wise man, that may deem betwixt a brother and his brother;
6but brother with brother striveth in doom, and that among unfaithful men.
7And now trespass is always among you, for ye have dooms among you. Why rather take ye not wrong? why rather suffer ye not deceit [or fraud]?
8But also ye do wrong, and do fraud [or and defraud], and that to brethren.
9Whether ye know not, that wicked men shall not wield the kingdom of God? Do not ye err; neither lechers, neither men that serve maumets [or idols], neither adulterers, neither lechers against kind, neither they that do lechery with men,
10neither thieves, neither avaricious [or covetous] men, neither men full of drunkenness, neither cursers, neither raveners, shall wield the kingdom of God.
11And ye were sometime these things; but ye be washed, but ye be hallowed, but ye be justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
12All things be leaveful to me, but not all things be speedful. All things be leaveful to me, but I shall not be brought down under any man’s power.
13Meat to the womb, and the womb to meats; and God shall destroy both this and that. And the body not to fornication, but to the Lord, and the Lord to the body.
14For God raised the Lord, and shall raise us by his virtue.
15Know ye not, that your bodies be members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and shall I make them the members of a whore? God forbid.
16Whether ye know not, that he that cleaveth to a whore, is made one body? For he saith, There shall be twain in one flesh.
17And he that cleaveth to the Lord, is one Spirit.
18Flee ye fornication; all sin what-ever sin a man doeth, is without the body; but he that doeth fornication, sinneth against his body.
19Whether ye know not, that your members be the temple of the Holy Ghost, that is in you, whom ye have of God, and ye be not your own?
20For ye be bought with great price. Glorify ye, and bear ye God in your body.

The Report About Lawsuits
1When one of you is in a dispute with another believer, how dare you take them to court to be judged by ungodly people! Why don’t you ask the Lord’s people to help you settle it? 2Don’t you know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? Since you’re going to do that, don’t you think you can judge small cases? 3Don’t you know that we’re even going to judge angels? We should certainly be able to judge the things of this life! 4So if you’re in a dispute with someone, should you ask people that the church doesn’t even respect to settle it? Of course not! 5You should be ashamed. Is it possible that none of you are wise enough to settle disputes between believers, 6so that they’re taking each other to court instead, in front of unbelievers?
7Just by getting into a lawsuit with another believer, you’ve already lost. Wouldn’t it be better to be treated wrongly instead? Wouldn’t it be better just to be cheated? 8Instead, you’re cheating and doing wrong yourselves, and you’re doing it to your own brothers and sisters. 9Don’t you know that people who do wrong won’t inherit God’s kingdom? Don’t be deceived. People who commit sexual sins, or who worship idols or commit adultery, or men who sleep with other men, 10or thieves or greedy people, or those who are often drunk or tell lies or cheat, will not inherit God’s kingdom. 11Some of you used to do things like that. But you were washed and made holy and right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
The Report About Sexual Sins
12Some of you are saying, “I have the right to do anything.” That may be true, but not everything is helpful. If you say, “I have the right to do anything,” you should also say, “But I won’t be controlled by anything.” 13Some of you are saying, “Food is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will destroy both of them.” But you can’t say the same thing about the body and sexual sins. The body is meant for the Lord, and the Lord is meant for the body. 14By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us up too. 15Don’t you know that your bodies are part of Christ himself? Should I take a part of Christ and join it to a prostitute? Never! 16Don’t you know that when you have sex with a prostitute, you become one with her in body? Scripture says, “The two will become one.” 17But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one with him in spirit.
18So keep far away from sexual sins. All the other sins a person commits are outside the body. But if a person commits sexual sins, those are sins against their own body. 19Don’t you know that together you are a body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you? You have received the Spirit from God. You don’t belong to yourselves; 20you were bought with a price. So honor God together as one body.
